Dominating the horizon of Mechelen with its 98 metres, the 15th century Sint-Romboutstoren has a funny story. In the 1600s, a drunk local thought the tower was on fire. He alarmed the whole city and the people pulled up lots and lots of buckets of water, up all 538 steps, to extinguish the flames... Until it suddenly disappeared. It was a misty day, and when the moon slipped through the haze, the people realized there never really was a fire.. They were actually trying to extinguish the moon. That is why the people of Mechelen are still called the Moon Extinguishers today! (Or Maneblussers in Dutch)

"For such a small hotel, I love how clean the hotel is. From the lobby, dining area, gym, and my room. The staff were excellent and I felt safe staying here. The location is near the train station so convenient. It is a 15-20 min walk to the downtown area of Brussels. Definitely recommend this hotel for everybody (even solo travellers!)"
